Schwaltzvald Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Provided by PC Gamer Oh God. As if Minecraft wasn’t terrifying enough, its creator Notch has just sent us screens and info about a new monster type he’s adding in the Minecraft Halloween Update on October 31st. The Ghasts are flying cuboid jellyfish that shoot fireballs at you, blowing chunks out of the world around you and setting it on fire. Luckily, they’re only found in hell. And Notch has told us exactly how to get there, why you’d want to go, and how portals to this new dimension are built. Quote

Schwaltzvald Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 you guys should blacklist me I blow up things Nothing wrong with clearing debris that happen to lower the value of the land. I'm quite interested in the new blocks and finally have a use for the obsidian blocks besides for looks. Before you know it, some one will recreate goatse on a land mass entering "Hell". Quote

When I shove a sword up their ass, that fucker better drop diamonds. Quote

In a way, reconstructing the main road/bridges as well as water ways may actually make sense. Unless Notch fixed the mine carts on multiplayer, would you risk carrying precious resources and materials through the dimensional gate on the chance that you'd lose it all by dying, or would the "peaceful" setting affect it enough as well. Speaking of which, we are gonna go with "normal" or "hard" difficulty? Quote
HalcyonSpirit Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 All depends on whether the health bug gets fixed. Notch hasn't confirmed whether or not it will be for this patch yet. Last time he mentioned it, it was still being worked on. But if it does get fixed, I am hoping for Hard Mode. Quote

Well, the way that I explore mines, I can get in and out with precious materials without too much conflict. I make sections, that sorta look like rooms, that only have one way in, and one way out that I can block off when I enter and exit. If a monster appears in one of the rooms, I can spot it and kill it through a hole, but the monster cant reach me. It takes a god awfully long time, but its the safest way I can think of at this time. Quote

The Author Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 So when I went shopping today, I saw a magazine with red blue 3d glasses and I'd figure I would try minecraft's 3d setting, and let me tell you I was impressed. Not perfect though but I think the issue is with my monitor's settings rather than with the game, and I could probably tweak that. Quote
Lemonectric Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Haha I had no idea there was a 3D setting. Just tried it, and it was kind of awesome. I knew those Spy Kids 3D glasses would come in handy someday. Also, you guys and your hard mode. I guess I don't usually feel compelled to get my ass kicked. Quote
FireSlash Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Minecraft server is migrating back to it's old home. IJ's box handles far too much traffic. I'm adjusting some settings to hopefully reduce the load while we look for a better long term solution. Should be back in an hour or so, depends on how long it takes me to get the data files off, since right now IJ's SSH is responding at one character every 30 seconds... Quote
FireSlash Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 should be back aghain. use kagami.fireslash.net until your DNS updates, otherwise minecraft.fireslash.net when it works. Quote
The Phalanx Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 dude... Dude we posted A MINUTE APART. Quote
